These Body Language Facts Show You How to Woo the Opposite Sex

This body language facts chart will help you understand what a potential partner looks for in a person -- just in time for Valentine's Day! The chart helps us understand that smooth talkers might not have it all covered; words only account for 7% of our overall effective communication while body language makes up 55% of how the person perceives us.

The study also reinstates the effectiveness of some cheesy romantic clichés like maintaining a gaze with someone you fancy. It also dishes advice in the areas of body posture, body space and volume and some specially tailored advice for each sex.

The body language fact chart also teaches us to smile but not for too long, or it'll seem insincere and smiling too quickly can make it seem like a smirk. Instead, the fun chart teaches us that smiling for 0.5 seconds makes us appear "attractive, trustworthy and non-intrusive."
